Surrounded by the Billionaire's Deep Doting-Chapter 548 - 423: What Do You Take Me, Yin Shixiu, For?
Don’t mention Yin Shixiu, even Richie beside them was so terrified by Su Xiaomeng’s action that he almost wanted to run away!
Bickering between couples is normal.
But ordinary people often feel that marriages in wealthy families with such high status are different from those of regular people.
Su Xiaomeng is indeed the wife of the president, but as the "president’s wife," this title destined her to depend on Yin Shixiu.
Even if Yin Shixiu grants her equality in the marriage, in the eyes of others, this kind of equality is just lip service, essentially meaningless.
The president’s wife should always be somewhat humble in front of the president.
And now, Su Xiaomeng, with a merciless slap and a scornful "get lost," turned Richie’s world upside down.
He couldn’t see any humility from this wealthy lady towards her husband, rather it seemed like a kind of high-handedness!
Of course, Richie didn’t just stand there in a daze; he turned his head slightly and saw the actual person who was injured.
The blood covering her face seemed to be half-dried.
"Sir, it’s, it’s this lady who is injured."
Richie had met Cherry twice, but it was just coincidental encounters in the hallway. Cherry was beautiful, and a man only needed to see her once to remember her easily.
Now, Cherry’s face was half-covered in bloodstains, but Richie recognized her nonetheless.
Yin Shixiu, hearing Richie’s words, slowly recovered his slightly stiffened hand and turned to see Chu Jiao whose face was covered in blood.
His brows furrowed slightly; for a moment, he struggled to connect what had happened between the two.
Claire, eavesdropping, caught the sound of Yin Shixiu’s return, which finally allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief, though not entirely so.
As long as she could hear Yin Shixiu’s voice, Shuangshuang and Huang Huang couldn’t miss it either, and once they heard it was Dad!
No toys or cartoons in this house could hold the siblings back!
"Daddy!"
"Daddy!"
Shuangshuang and Huang Huang stood by the door, calling out while looking at Claire, clearly asking her to open the door because Dad had come back!
But Claire was conflicted; outside was a battlefield, how could she let the children out?
Furthermore, Madam had asked her to take the children to the room to avoid exposing them to family conflicts.
Claire hesitated here, but Shuangshuang and Huang Huang were out of patience, banging on the door while shouting,
"Daddy! Daddy!"
Prince Huang was getting anxious, not to mention the always uncontrollable Shuangshuang!
A scream accompanied by the banging noise,
Made it impossible for those outside to ignore.
Yin Shixiu glanced at Chu Jiao and said to Richie, "Treat her wound."
After saying this, he headed to the children’s room, opened the door, and went in without letting the children out.
With Dad’s reassurance, the children quickly calmed down, though faint snippets of their conversations with Dad could still be heard.
Chatting continuously, none of it important.
Richie treated Chu Jiao’s wound, noticing the not-so-small cut and looking at the broken glass on the floor, confirming the cause of injury.
Meanwhile, Chu Jiao’s heart was a mixture of emotions, her eyes full of shock and stupefaction, even questioning herself...
Wasn’t her current appearance miserable enough? Not enough blood? Didn’t seem seriously injured?
That brief glance, her blood-covered face, was overshadowed by the grumbling behind the door from the two children.
Upon entering, he instinctively ran to Su Xiaomeng, his nervousness, worry, and even a trace of fear evident in his words...
Chu Jiao looked up at Su Xiaomeng; she must be very pleased, right?
However, Su Xiaomeng’s face remained as cold as frost, her expression matching her gaze of indifference...
Chu Jiao clenched her fist, listening to Richie talk about wound treatment issues at her side, but she couldn’t absorb any of it.
Yin Shixiu, you’re such a great actor!
Feigning indifference towards me before your wife, haha...apparently, you still don’t know yet.
The servant probably hasn’t told you why I’m sitting here yet!
Chu Jiao biting her lip, this woman who usually pursued perfection, at this moment, had a heart full of wickedness and darkness.
When you see that I’m pregnant with your child, the seed you sowed that night quietly growing within me, will you still continue to ignore? Will you still maintain this charade?
Chu Jiao waited silently.
Su Xiaomeng said nothing more, also waiting.
"Oh, sorry, did I hurt you?"
Richie, though a fairly experienced doctor, not very old, had a good reputation in the field of family medicine.
Yet, in this grand living room now with two women sitting face-to-face, the atmosphere...
Richie involuntarily had a slight tremor in his hand, touching Chu Jiao’s forehead wound.
Chu Jiao did not react, and Richie continued treating the wound.
About a quarter of an hour later, it’s unknown what Yin Shixiu had said to the children inside the room, but when he came out, the siblings behaved well and didn’t cause any more trouble.
As for Yin Shixiu himself, while in the room, asked Claire a couple of questions, finally grasping a key fact.
Chu Jiao is pregnant.
Yin Shixiu walked straight into the living room, looking at Xiaomeng, who didn’t even glance back at him.
The disgusted look from before chilled him to the bone.
He did not know that snowy night, Xiaomeng saw him carrying Chu Jiao into a hotel, let alone the fact that she waited outside for him the whole night. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Honestly, Su Xiaomeng’s attitude left his heart cold.
He did not sit beside Su Xiaomeng but on a solo couch to the side.
He picked up the pregnancy report pinned down by British Pounds, as the report was pulled out, the Pounds rolled twice on the coffee table, one silently falling onto the carpet.
"Cherry Chu...forty days."
Yin Shixiu murmured the keywords on the pregnancy report...
Chu Jiao’s eyes turned red, tears welling up, rolling down right after.
"Was the check done yesterday?"
Yin Shixiu asked calmly.
Chu Jiao nodded,
"When you went back to Beijing, I told you, I said that what happened that night would remain my eternal secret... but I hadn’t expected, hadn’t expected to get pregnant..."
"..."
Yin Shixiu was still staring at that pregnancy report, mirroring Xiaomeng’s actions.
At least making sure the report was authentic first.
"I panicked for a while, didn’t know what to do, so I came to find Xiaomeng, just to make things clear to her; she has the right to know everything...boo hoo..."
Chu Jiao spoke while crying, her grief and helplessness palpable, crying painfully and with restraint.
How Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng felt, Richie didn’t know, but for sure Richie at this moment was extremely heartbroken.
Roughly, Richie was well aware, Yin Shixiu cheated, and the mistress came to the door with a belly bump.
Well...though Cherry being a mistress was slightly sentimental for Richie.
But facing the president of Yin Group, it seemed, it wasn’t that hard to accept.
Men with high positions and power, even if they build a good husband image in public, who doesn’t have someone outside?
Anyway, Richie didn’t believe there existed such perfectly upstanding men!
Otherwise, wouldn’t ordinary men like him feel a lack of superiority?
"But I didn’t expect Xiaomeng would directly throw a cup at me, didn’t expect she would tell me to get rid of the baby, she even threatened me..."
"Shixiu, this is your child, that night, we were at the hotel..."
Su Xiaomeng closed her eyes, bit down hard just to barely stop herself from imagining.
"I’ve thought it through, this child, if you really don’t want it, then I will give birth and raise it myself, won’t disturb you and your wife anymore, I know how deep your love for Xiaomeng is, that night was just an accident."
Chu Jiao wiped her tears, the blood on her face not yet fully cleaned; wiping like this blurred her face further.
"Xiaomeng, I’m sorry, I seduced Yin Shixiu, I still had lingering feelings for him, that night, he merely couldn’t control himself, he didn’t mean to betray you, he—"
"Chu Jiao."
Chu Jiao wanted to say more, to further express her remorse, pain, and grievance, but was interrupted by Yin Shixiu.
He looked up at Chu Jiao’s tear-streaked face,
"What do you take me, Yin Shixiu, for?"
